MediaJoe has launched a “Lunch and Learn” Workshop Series for busy people who need to learn but have little time available for long seminars. The workshops are held in the conference room at MediaJoe’s headquarters in the Fernwell Building. The first seminar was a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) demonstration, and the presenter was a telecommunications engineer from Shoreline Communications, Inc.

Shoreline delivers standards-based IP phones and VoIP phone systems, and MediaJoe represents their line. Still a new and expensive system, IP voice communications systems are expected to be the norm by 2005. VoIP systems are especially useful and cost effective for companies with multiple locations in different cities. The list of benefits is long and tantalizing -- especially the ease of maintaining a single communications system with services that could span the United States.

The VoIP Workshop was the first of a continuing series. “We plan to make it a monthly event, with each being on a different topic,” says Jim Rund, MediaJoe Director of Sales and Marketing. True to their word, the VoIP Workshop lasted just over an hour, and MediaJoe provided lunch, catered by the Rock City Grill.

Next month’s workshop isn’t firm as yet, but ‘Structured Cabling’ was a suggested topic. Space is limited at MediaJoe so reservations are necessary. If you want to learn more about MediaJoe’s workshop series, contact Jim Rund at jim@mediajoe.com.
